CALL FOR PHOTO CONTEST FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE "ELLIE ON THE ROAD"

On the occasion
of the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, SOLIDARNA
launched creative project "Ellie on the Road", dedicated to Eleanor
Roosevelt, the "First Lady of the World" who, as the President of the
first United Nations Human Rights Committee, was crucial for its adoption on
December 10, 1948.

The project
consists of a thematic photo contest for young people from which a digital
photo book will be created (in the form of a thematic website) and a traveling
photo exhibition with accompanying cultural program in a number of interested
cities and municipalities, focusing on those environments which face developmental
problems.

The photo
contest, drafted in collaboration with a group of young people from Gunja,
Sisak and Zagreb, is opened from 29 October to 12 November 2018, and children
and young people can participate with
their own photographs with a theme of one or more the fundamental notions of
the Universal Declaration selected by
the group of young people who have drafted the competition. These are: HOME,
SAFETY, PRIVACY, EDUCATION, WORK, SOLIDARITY, RESPONSIBILITY, CULTURE AND CREATIVITY,
LIFE, EQUALITY, DIGNITY AND FREEDOM.
From the received photographs, professional photographic jury will select the
best from which the traveling exhibition will be created which we interactively want to show to as
many young people throughout the Republic of Croatia as we can. The exhibition
will be presented in Daruvar, Gunja, Krnjak, Sisak and Zagreb during November
and December of 2018 and it can continue its path in January and February next
year.

For three best
photographs we have ensured valuable awards. More on: ellie.solidarna.hr

In
each city on the occasion of the opening of the exhibition, we will organize a
complementary cultural and educational program in cooperation with interested
schools, associations and cultural institutions, in various forms according to
the agreement and the interest of local partners (youth workshops, human rights
quiz, film screening on philanthropy, theater play, donor actions to support
poor children, etc.).

If you
have any questions or if you would like to participate in any other way in the
project, please let us know.

* This project, foundation SOLIDARNA is implementing under its Culture in the community program with the
financial support of the US Embassy and Atlantic Group, a donor of SOLIDARNA
